Chapter 59
After returning from the modern world, Wang Rui naturally could not have wasted such a large space in the astral realm.
During the time he was hunted by Cia, Wang Rui bought many good things and placed them in the Astral Realm, including a large number of glass products.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. If Wang Rui wanted to develop his own strength in the ancient Ming society, then developing industry and commerce was the best way.
Industrial forces vs agricultural forces.
Pull the rules of the world into a familiar mode, and then defeat all opponents with your rich experience.
Doing politics or conspiracy? Forget it. The ancients were very smart, and this aspect was not worse than that of modern people. Even many modern routines were left to others.
Only by following the righteous path and speaking with strength is the best way to achieve your goal.
If you want to develop industry and commerce, then you must not have money. The first pot of gold is very important.
So what is more valuable?
While thinking about this question, Wang Rui subconsciously appeared in his mind. The story of Westerners exchanging glass balls for real money and silver in the colonial era suddenly lit up.
Glass is a material that can only be manufactured on a large scale by industrial countries.
The production and processing technology level of modern glass products is much more advanced than that of the early stages of industrialization, and the appearance of modern glass products is also more perfect.
Although there were glazed products in ancient times, they were naturally formed stained glass.
These naturally formed products naturally have different shapes and colors vary due to the different relationships between trace metal content and distribution within the formation. Beautiful is beautiful, but it is difficult to find colorless glass with pure and transparent color.
However, things are precious because they are rare, so pure and transparent colorless glass is often priceless and hard to find.
So when Wang Rui took out pairs of glass cups, glass bowls, glass pots, glass Guanyin, and glass Ruyi from his backpack, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. His mouth, which was covered by the handkerchief, was getting wider and wider, and his eyes were almost out of his sockets and fell out.
"Uh God! Am I having hallucinations~~"
She couldn't believe that if she bought so much pure, transparent and so well-decorated colorless glass, it would cost so much money if she bought it in the capital!
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Tong Xiangyu was stunned for a moment, Wang Rui waved his hand in her eyes and called her.
Zhangguin Tong, who came to his senses, hurriedly ran to the doors and windows to check it around, then returned to the table and asked Wang Rui in a low voice:
"Where did you get so many babies?
Oh my god, if you buy these things in the capital, you can't stop them from millions of taels of silver. Millions of taels of silver, God, how much does it cost!"
As he was talking, Tong Xiangyu suddenly felt that he had lost his language ability and could not express his horror in words. Then, he unknowingly fell into fantasy again.
Wealth is moving, not to mention such a precious treasure.
Wang Rui suddenly regretted taking out these things. The father and son may even draw their swords to each other because of their treasures, let alone friends?
Taking out this thing rashly is simply testing the other party's greed.
People cannot stand the test, and they cannot test a person's loyalty and trust in you for no reason at any time, because it will only destroy the relationship between the two parties and will not get any benefits.
But I have already taken it out, and it is useless to think too much. Wang Rui chose to believe in Tong Xiangyu's character and continue to act as planned.
After awakening Tong Xiangyu, Wang Rui said sincerely: "Shopkeeper, I believe you and reveal this secret to you. You also know the value of these treasures. If it is spread, I don't know how many people will take risks to grab them."
Zhangguan Tong's expression was serious and stiff, and said in a trembling tone: "Old Wang, what do you mean? These treasures are good, but they are so expensive. And you haven't explained the origin, what should I do if I give it to you?"
Wang Rui pressed his hand and signaled her not to be excited, saying, "This is the business I want to discuss with you. Don't worry, these babies are very clean and have no problems.
This colorless glass is a secret method developed by my fellow villagers who combined the red-haired ghosts in Taixi to make glass, and can be made by myself. It is much more valuable than the colored glass of Taixi Yi people.
These finished products are naturally not allowed to be taken for the time being. Now our strength cannot protect these goods, and what I really want to take action is actually these..."
As he said that, Wang Rui took out some small glass beads and placed them with the original glassware on the table. When the light of the oil lamp was shining, these glass products reflected psychedelic and beautiful colors in the house.
"The shopkeeper, these small colorless glasses are of great value, but they are far less than these large glasses. They can be sold as jewelry inlaid on jewelry, and should not be too eye-catching.
I have many of these colorless glass beads. I know that you, the shopkeeper, are the eldest lady of the Longmen Escort Agency. You can take on this business with strength and skills, so I hope to reach a cooperation with you.
I'll supply the goods, and you'll sell them through the Longmen Escort Agency. We can earn 55% of the income from these glass beads."
While listening to Wang Rui's story, Tong Xiangyu picked up a glass bead from the table and looked at the light carefully.
Each one is round, transparent and flawless like a bead. It's so beautiful. She wants to make a string of beads like this and hang them around her neck to show off with the ladies and ladies.
Tong Xiangyu looked at the glassware intoxicatedly and said excitedly: "Old Wang, do you say that these are all made by yourself? Well, I have only heard that those Franchise people from Thailand have the skills to make this kind of glass, but I don't think we Ming people can do it."
Upon hearing this, Wang Rui's eyes flashed and he said, "This is just the beginning. In the future, we can do everything that the Thais can do. Not only can we do, but we can do better than them. We must be able to do what they cannot do."
Tong Xiangyu was moved. Everyone was moved by so many treasures in front of her. Compared with this, what is the value of an inn?
But she was a little hesitant, not these beads, but these large glassware.
If she agreed to cooperate with Wang Rui, then these treasures will definitely be sold in the future. Even if the share is much smaller, it will be a wealth she cannot imagine.
But she is just a widow, and she has no man at home. Can she really take on such a big family business?
Thinking of this, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but appear in Tong Xiangyu's mind. He frowned and rubbed his temples, and said to Wang Rui: "Old Wang, we are not in a hurry. Take these back first. Please think carefully in the past two days before making a decision?"
Hearing this, what else could Wang Rui say? He packed up the things on the table and put them in his travel backpack, leaving only those glass beads on the table.
Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu hurriedly said, "Old Wang, what do you mean?"
Wang Rui had already seen that she was very close to the beads, and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, these are my wishes. Thank you for your care all the time, so you can stay."
"Then, how embarrassed you are." Tong Xiangyu wanted to return the glazed pearl to Wang Rui, but he didn't know how to do it with his hands and mouth. He suddenly became disobedient and had to be embarrassed and smiled and sent Wang Rui out of the door.
When they returned to the room, Tong Xiangyu sat at the table, holding the glass beads in his hand and smirked at the light for a long time before they came to their senses. They put them in the small wooden cabinet where they were wearing jewelry.
